adventurers in the sewers

Chapter 94, The Soul of the Broken Army Sword: The most disrespectful episode of a group brawl!

"By luring the native monsters of Blackrock City's sewers, they are also launching an attack from the outside. Someone must be directing this from behind the scenes."

Louis's mind raced.

A mindless monster couldn't pull off such a brilliant teamwork.

With such coordinated action from both inside and outside, no matter how many guards were stationed in the sewers, they would all be overwhelmed by this flood-like onslaught.

At that time, the monsters from the outside world will be able to enter directly through the sewage outlet.

Given the fighting strength of the soldiers guarding other sewage outlets, the pipeline they were protecting had clearly fallen.

If we delay any longer, the sewers will be overrun with monsters that have broken in, which will make things even more troublesome.

Having figured this out, Louis made a decisive decision: "Nora, Dina, and Merry, you take the soldiers and retreat first. I'll cover the rear."

"Once we've retreated to the nearest sewer exit, send the soldiers out to report first, then you all wait there for me—"

""

Upon hearing this, Daina's eyes trembled, and she hurriedly said, "Louis, it hasn't come to that yet. If we work together, we can still keep those invading monsters at bay."

Louis chuckled and said, "What are you thinking, girl? I never said I was going to my death. Don't worry, I have my trump cards. I'm just worried about not being able to take care of these soldiers during the battle."

"How about this, you send the soldiers out first, and then come back to fight alongside me?"

Dana's expression relaxed slightly. She exchanged a glance with Nora, nodded solemnly, and, pulling Merry along, led the ten somewhat cumbersome soldiers towards the sewer exit.

A short while later, the group disappeared around the corner of the sewer.

They will definitely encounter many local monsters along the way, such as gray rot rats, giant maggots, and even flesh slimes, but with Nora and Dina's abilities, they should be able to deal with them easily.

With them clearing the way, Louis no longer needs to pay too much attention to the monsters coming from inside the sewers.

Louis stood at the sewage outlet, stretched his limbs, and prepared for a good fight.

He wasn't lying when he said he had a trump card, because he had indeed just obtained a divine skill for group battles: "Breaking Army Sword Soul".

The fact that he was able to use so many gray rotten rats as speed bumps was also related to the amplification of the Broken Army Sword Soul; otherwise, if the corpses piled up too much, he would have been unable to push them away.

The monsters were desperately trying to squeeze into the sewage outlet, but Louis calmly held up his shield and even had the leisure to touch the rotting gray rat corpses at his feet, trying to see if he could find anything.

However, it wouldn't have mattered if he hadn't touched it, but the notification sound in Louis's ear surprised him.

[You have picked up the corpse of a "Grey Rot Rat"*376. Attributes: Extraordinary +0.4. Gained the skill "Sewer Creature".]

[Sewage creatures +1 +1 +1 —]

The skill "Skill: Sewer Creatures" has reached its maximum proficiency level; you can pick up more even after forgetting the skill.

In the blink of an eye, Louis's skill bar had a new skill, "Sewer Creatures," with maxed-out proficiency.

"Wow, my cheat ability can actually collect the attributes of an entire horde of corpses! How come I never noticed this before?"

Louis sighed to himself.

Upon seeing the hundreds of gray carrion rats, Louis knew he certainly wouldn't have the time to touch each of their corpses one by one.

It's not very valuable, it's too much trouble to handle, and this kind of behavior is likely to attract strange looks.

As a result, I just touched it once and found out all the attributes of the Gray Rot Rat.

But how exactly did this happen?

Louis glanced at the corpses of the gray carrion rats and suddenly realized that the corpses had been crushed and intertwined.

Like a human centipede, touching one of them is, in a sense, touching all of them.

"So, in the future, I can also use a similar method to pile up or connect a large number of enemy corpses, and then quickly obtain the attributes of a large group of corpses?"

Louis mentally applied this principle to other situations.

He immediately activated his class talent skill "Fusion", fusing the newly acquired sewer creature and turning it into pure experience points to feed Shadow Sword Technique.

We can pick up the remaining skill proficiency on the ground in a little while, so nothing will be wasted.

At the same time, several wolves finally squeezed through the sewage outlet and pounced fiercely on Louis as soon as they entered the sewer.

Behind the demon wolf, one monster after another from different races emerged, all of them aiming their spears at Louis.

Looking at the ever-growing number of enemies, Louis felt his power surging forth, and he delivered a shield bash to the head of a demon wolf.

The latter's head exploded, while Louis felt almost no loss of strength.

With the blessing of the Broken Army Sword Soul, his endurance has also increased.

Giant Shield Charge!

boom-

The Mercury Shield crushed all the monsters that broke in into pieces.

But then, new monsters crawled in from the sewage outlet.

Because he was blocking the monsters' entrance, Louis felt that his shield bash was too cumbersome, so he temporarily set aside his Mercury Shield, drew his longsword, and unleashed his Shadow Sword Technique to frantically slaughter the invading monsters.

When some of the monster corpses blocked the drain, Louis even took the initiative to pull out the blocked corpses and throw them behind him.

Before long, the monster corpses had piled up into a small mountain.

Most of these monsters are low-level monsters that are only slightly stronger than gray rotten rats. The probability of them having extraordinary attributes is extremely small, and the skills they possess are also very weak.

But the advantage lies in the quantity; it's all about piling things up, and the proficiency in these low-level skills is also maxed out.

Louis absorbed all these low-level skills and fed them to Shadow Sword Technique as nourishment.

As time went by, the proficiency of Shadow Sword Technique gradually increased from (Perfect: 15/100) to (Perfect:

100/100).

Louis then selected two more decent monster skills, one specializing in stealth and the other in assassination, and incorporated them into the Shadow Sword Technique.

After the five level 0 skills were merged, Shadow Sword Technique was successfully upgraded to a level 1 skill.

After the upgrade, the skill description of Shadow Sword Technique also underwent a significant change.

【Shadow Sword Technique (Level 1: 1/5): Vanish into the shadows, an invisible magical blade, enhanced by the ultimate assassin's swordsmanship, becomes invincible. Consumes 3 mana points to use, lasts 30 minutes.】

[Note: Skill effects are enhanced across the board in dark environments.]

Skill Proficiency: Perfect (100/100)

The simulation effect of skill fusion has now come to a complete end.

Louis was extremely satisfied with the new skills derived from his class talent.

The reason he was so eager to upgrade Shadow Sword Technique to level 1 was simple: the underwater environment was always dark, and this skill could be used to its fullest potential there.

However, level 0 Shadow Sword Technique was still a bit inadequate for him; level 1 was just right.

With a thought, Louis's body vanished from the spot as his 3 points of magic power were consumed, as if swallowed by darkness.

The monster that was attacking him frantically suddenly lost its target.
